*Special collector’s edition with designed foil board and endpapers, limited to the first print run* The whole world disappears when you enter THE SILENCE FACTORY 'I loved it. A delicately woven novel with an utterly original premise, it ensnared me from the very first page' EMILIA HART GLOWING READER REVIEWS ‘Dark, compelling, fantastical and absorbing, Bridget Collins has done it again. Highly recommended' ‘Wholly original and unexpected… you are in the hands of a story telling master' ‘A splendid work of imagination, almost magical in places, but darkly realistic in others, and a great read' Henry dreams of silence. A world without the clattering of carriages through cobbled streets, the distant cries of drunken brawls, the relentless ticking of the clock. Then he meets a fascinating, mysterious gentleman who sells just that. Precious silk that can drown out the clamour of the world – and everything Henry is so desperate to escape. Summoned to Sir Edward’s secluded factory to try to cure his young daughter’s deafness, Henry is soon drawn deeper and deeper into the origins of this otherworldly gift: a gift that has travelled from ancient Mediterranean glades to English libraries. Ignoring repeated warnings from the girl's secretive governess, he allows himself to fall under the spell of Sir Edward and his silk… but when he learns its true cost, will it be too late to turn back? From the #1 bestselling author of THE BINDING, this is an enthralling story about complicity, desire and corruption – a novel to lose yourself in.

Audiobook
Un relato de deseos enterrados y traiciones indescriptibles. Una historia de amor que desafía los límites. Una novela mágica e inolvidable. Imagina que los libros no solo contienen historias. Imagina que puedes ocultar entre sus páginas tus mayores miedos, tu dolor más profundo, tus secretos más oscuros. A todo el mundo. Incluso a ti mismo. Para siempre. Emmett Farmer, después de un largo día de trabajo en el campo, recibe una misteriosa carta que le cita a incorporarse como aprendiz de encuadernador. Es una profesión que despierta miedo y superstición en su entorno. Sin embargo, como humilde campesino sin recursos, no le queda más remedio que abandonar la granja familiar. En la casa aislada donde vive su maestra, la anciana Seredith, Emmett aprenderá a elaborar libros que, más allá de tener unos acabados muy cuidados, son tomos mágicos que conservan los recuerdos de las personas y atesoran secretos del pasado. Quien quiere olvidarse de algún episodio del pasado, puede acudir al lugar donde los encuadernadores encierran estas vivencias en volúmenes que guardan en una cripta bajo el taller: una suerte de biblioteca del olvido en la que todo permanece a la espera. Pero un día Emmett descubre su nombre en uno de esos libros... La crítica ha dicho... «Una bella novela sobre el amor, el deseo y la magia que reside en el apasionante arte de contar historias.» MÍA «Intensa y envolvente. Una obra conmovedora y original que recrea todo un mundo.» The Sunday Times «Destinado a ser uno de los libros más importantes del año.» Grazia «Verdaderamente hipnótica.» The Guardian «Un divertimento intenso y gótico que explora lo que los libros han conservado en su interior y nos recuerda el poder de contar historias. Fascinante.» Tracy Chevalier «Un auténtico placer.» The Times «Seductor, oscuro y evocador.» i Paper «Una fusión de historia y magia que desafía al género.» What We're Reading (The New York Times) En los blogs... «Es un libro tan bien escrito, tan ágil de leer y que te atrapa de tal manera, que se ha convertido en mi mejor lectura en lo que va de año.» Fantasía de libros «Es una historia de amor diferente, en muchos momentos agridulce, narrada de una forma preciosa.» Welcome to Pinkiland «Una mezcla de emocionante romance prohibido con un toque de magia... Una historia que no olvidaré fácilmente.» Dragones y libros «Una historia donde el destino tiene mucho que decir y los libros tienen un poder irracional y mágico.» El templo de la lectura

Die verborgenen Stimmen der Bücher (Ungekürzt)
Emmett Farmer arbeitet auf dem Hof seiner Eltern, als ein Brief ihn erreicht. Er soll bei einer Buchbinderin in die Lehre gehen. Seine Eltern, die wie alle anderen Menschen Bücher aus ihrer Welt verbannt haben, lassen ihn ziehen - auch weil sie glauben, dass er nach einer schweren Krankheit die Arbeit auf dem Hof nicht leisten kann. Die Begegnung mit der alten Buchbinderin beeindruckt den Jungen, dabei lässt Seredith ihn nicht in das Gewölbe mit den kostbaren Büchern. Menschen von nah und fern kommen heimlich zu ihr. Emmett kommt ein dunkler Verdacht: Liegt ihre Gabe darin, den Menschen ihre Seele zu nehmen? Dann stirbt die alte Frau - und der Junge erkennt, welch Wohltäterin sie war - und in welche Gefahr er selbst geraten ist.

If there's something you need to erase, he can assist. Your past will be stored safely in a book and you will never remember your secret, however terrible.
